Easy Pie Crust Dough Recipe
Easy Pie Crust Dough Recipe Mise en Place:
• Large Bowl
• Rolling Pin
• Pastry Cutter
• Measuring Cups
• Pie Beads/Weight (for pies with prebaked shells)
• Small Food Processor (to make castor sugar)
• Pie Plate
• Pie Crust Guard
• Parchment Paper
Easy Pie Crust Dough Recipe Ingredients:
• 2 1/2 cups white flour
• 2 TBSP castor sugar (remember a whirl in the small food processor of regular white sugar will
do it)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 stick cold (or frozen) cubed unsalted butter
• 4 TBSP cold vegetable shortening
• 12 TBSP ice water
Easy Pie Crust Dough Directions:
• Combine flour, castor sugar and salt
• Add vegetable shortening and butter
• Mix (cut in shortening and butter) until well blended
• Add 4 TBSP water, mix
• Add 2 more TBSP water, continue mixing. Keep adding the water until well blended. You may
not need all 12 TBSP.
• Divide dough in half.
• Wrap with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Remove cooled dough from refrigerator, roll onto lightly floured surface, until you have (2) 11″
round disks
• Place 1 raw dough disk in the pie plate and fluted the edges.
• Cover bottom with lightly sprayed parchment paper.
• Cover with beans or pie weights.
• Prick sides of dough liberally with fork.
• If cooking for a creme pie, bake at 425º for 13-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven, remove pie weights and parchment paper.
• Cool completely
• If cooking for a fruit or meat pie do not bake prior to adding filling and second dough disc for
covering. Bake per pie instructions.
Note: I have always been a terrible pie crust dough maker, and Pillsbury was my friend. The
dough itself tasted horrible. Since I started making this dough seven (or more!) years ago, it has
always turned out delicious, and it is soooo easy to work with!
